[Publib] After hours library use

[Allison Angell]

   Hi,
     My library doesn't open until noon on Saturdays, so we have our computer classes in the morning.  There are 5-6 staff people working here behind the scenes in the morning, so safety isn't an issue, and the public isn't clamoring for computers.  
     I have to admit - I'd never thought about the dangers of working alone!  I had a study night for the teens after hours on Sunday night.  Nothing happened - nothing ever does - but it's worth keeping in mind for the future.

Hello librarians,

Is this true?  Do other libraries (specifically ones with few PCs to go
around) do odd stuff like open after hours for instruction and things 
like
that?

I truly want to do what is best for the community, but I also want to 
be
safe.  Thoughts?  Solutions?  Ideas?

As always, I anxiously await your wisdom.

Thanks,

-Katie
